Tawia Adamafio (born Joseph Tawia Adams) was a Ghanaian minister in the Nkrumah government during the first republic of Ghana.

Adamafio was a member of the Convention People's Party and rose to become its General Secretary. In 1960, he was appointed the Information and Broadcasting Minister by Nkrumah. He was also Minister for Presidential Affairs concurrently. This was an influential position in the government at the time.

Adamafio was one of the close associates of Kwame Nkrumah who stood trial for treason following the Kulungugu grenade attempt on his life. Adamafio and others were freed after the first trial but was eventually found guilty following a second trial by a pro-government panel. The trial judge was Edward Akufo-Addo who later became Chief Justice of Ghana and then President of Ghana during the second republic.
